1:00 Cheryl Garner	God has anointed me to minister to his people through song; I thank him so much for the gift. I thank God for my relationships in Atlanta with other wonderful singers and musicians. I've worked with many and learned from many. My first professional opportunity came when I had the great pleasure to sing throughout the country with an R&B group professionally traveling in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia. After three years of traveling I realized my heart and soul belonged to gospel music. Born in a family of singers and being the preacher’s daughter I traveled to churches all over Atlanta with him. I have been singing in church since she was 8 years old. I was honored to sing on the same stage with gospel legend Pastor Shirley Caesar at one of her concerts. Singing the good news of Jesus Christ comes from deep within my soul. Through my trials and tribulations, sickness and victories God has given me a word for his people through my song ministry so that he might be glorified and the body of Christ edified. To God be the Glory for great things he has done.
